Change manually the IP Address of machines which are registered in Acronis Management Console/Server

Thread needs solution

Hi@all,

today i wanted to change the static ip-address of a machine with acronis agent, which doesn't have a dns-record, without deleting and re-adding this machine to the acronis management console, because the backup-plans.

Because, the machine doesn't have a dns-record, the acronis management console doesn't find the machine with the new ip-address.
Because i didn't wanted to export/import the backup-plans and delete/re-add the machine to management console, i had to find another solution:

1. open "acronis" MS-SQL instance with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
2. open the database "acronis_cms"
3. open table dbo.Machine and change the ip-address in the fields "OriginalName" and "MachineAddress"
4. open table dbo.ResidentialAddress and change the ip-adress in the field "Address" of the "MachineID" belonging to your machine (identical to "ID" in table "dbo.Machine")
5. now go to your Acronis Management Console, right click the machine and choose "Synchronize" (translated from german Acronis Management Console version)

That's all
